David & Laura are a very nice couple who gave personal touches to everything. The breakfast that they prepared were so good. And the room was pleasant and cosy. Location is good as it is just a few minutes walk from the train & bus station.

The owners were very friendly young couple and very helpful with tips. Excelent breakfast, central location, very clean and modern design. Cuzy. Comfortable bed. Only 3 rooms which makes it feel like you're alone. We stayed at the room at the top floor which had a low ceiling in part of the roon and in the bathroom (not suitable for tall people:-) ) . The window facing a main road.

The room was great, the decoration was modern and stylish and had a very good size en suite. The highest quality 3 star Bed and Breakfast we have ever stayed in! The owners were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing, just what you need to set you up for the day! Orrest cottage is excellent value for money. We will definitely be visiting again! Nothing to fault with Orrest Cottage, will definitely be recommending to friends and family.

The owners are very friendly and helpful when requested. The room was cosy and clean, and the house is located steps away from town. I definitely recommend it. Nothing.

Unbelievable value for money. Food was delicious with special homemade recipes made from local ingredients. Room was very clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable - nice little touches like homemade flap jack with our welcome pack and trays for dirty shoes after hiking as well as a full range of bathroom products to use. The owners were very friendly and welcoming - could not have done more for us. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone staying in Windermere.

The whole experience from booking, e-mail communication with the hosts, letting ourselves in at a time convenient with us, comfortable bed, clean room and amazing breakfast made our trip fabulous. We will stay there next time too and have told our family and friends it's the place to stay.

Fantastic hosts - great communication from the start. Very helpful, gave great advice and nothing seemed too much trouble. Lovely room - very comfortable with little touches including toiletries, fresh milk, delicious flapjack and WiFi. Great choice of breakfasts on offer - something for everyone with lots of fresh coffee and toast etc. Brilliant location - 5 minutes walk from Windermere itself, with the Orrest Head walk over the road. 10-15 mins from Ambleside, 20 mins from the Langdales - what more could you ask for. Brilliant time had by both of us and yes, we will be back. Not always easy to park "outside" but there are LOTS of places to park a couple of minutes walk away. This is not the fault of the B&B and shouldn't deter anyone from staying here!
